This project will focus on the question whether one can detect a specific image of Mendelssohn by analyzing the works that were dedicated to him. Presuming, that a dedication always bears a certain message, the dedicated works will be analyzed with regard to specific musical reflections, holding an emblematic meaning within the musical material. The process of dedication does not only point to the author, but to the addressee. Thus, the music was composed as a denomination to the addressee - assumed the dedication was accepted - and reflected aspects of a musical style, employed or represented by Mendelssohn himself. The compositions can be understood as paratextual sources, in the sense of Gérard Genettes theory of dedication. This means, that the compositions often reflect private, symbolic or intellectual relations between the composer and the addressee, influencing strongly their reception in the public discourse. Moreover, this project will investigate the communicative force of the phenomenon of dedication completing the process of dedication. As a starting point, the historical and theoretical basics of the act of dedicating will be reconstructed. In the next step, the aspects of composition and aesthetic of reception will be examined, with regard to the dedications made to Mendelssohn. Furthermore, the study will examine the structure of the network of dedications surrounding Mendelssohn: Which composer dedicated which work to him? Why and when did he do so? A close look at the exact nature of the relations will allow interesting conclusions about for example the genre the composer chose, to honor Mendelssohn as a friend, teacher or benefactor. The core of the study will then be to analyze the detected dedications regarding their assumed reflection of Mendelssohns work. With these analytical results, the dedications will be examined within the context of their public meaning. The focus will lie on the contemporary media, especially the musical press, which had a considerable influence on the process of dedication. Thus, the aspect of dedication will not only be examined as a compositional phenomenon, but as a part of the reception itself. With this access, the dedications to Mendelssohn will be studied for the first time in a multiperspective way, shedding new light on a composer operating internationally during the 19th Century.

该项目将重点介绍一个问题，是否可以通过分析专门针对他的作品来检测Mendelssohn的特定图像。假设奉献精神总是有一定的信息，将在特定的音乐反射上分析专门的作品，并在音乐材料中具有象征意义。奉献的过程不仅指向作者，而且指向地址。这是为了对地址的派别组成的音乐 - 假定奉献精神被接受 - 反映了音乐风格的各个方面，由门德尔松本人使用或代表。从GérardGenettes的奉献理论的意义上讲，这些构图可以被理解为部分遗产来源。这意味着，这些作品通常反映了作曲家与地址之间的私人，象征性或智力关系，在公共话语中强烈影响他们的接受。此外，该项目将调查完成奉献过程的奉献现象的沟通力量。作为起点，将重建奉献行为的历史和理论基础。在下一步中，就对门德尔松的奉献精神，将检查组成和接收美感的各个方面。此外，该研究将研究围绕Mendelssohn的专用网络的结构：哪个作曲家专门对他有用？他为什么以及什么时候这样做？仔细观察这种关系的确切性质将允许关于Composer选择的类型的有趣结论，以纪念Mendelssohn作为朋友，老师或受益。然后，研究的核心将是分析检测到的有关其假定对Mendelssohn工作的专用。通过这些分析结果，将在其公共意义的背景下进行专门研究。重点将放在当代媒体上，尤其是音乐媒体，这对奉献过程产生了很大影响。这就是奉献精神的方面不仅会被视为一种复合现象，而且将作为接收本身的一部分进行研究。有了这种访问，对门德尔松的奉献将首次以多效的方式进行研究，从而在19世纪在国际上在国际运作的作曲家身上散发出新的灯光。
